Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to improvements in payment or deposit machines for goods.

Generally, when paying for goods or using a deposit machine, a card is inserted into the card slot, and a reading mechanism installed inside the device checks whether the inserted card is genuine or not. The user reads out the data recorded in advance on the card, enters the PIN number, checks whether the person presenting the card is the person in question, and then uses the panel operation to pay for or deposit the desired item. It is something.

However, since these devices are always outside the store and their card slots are open, they can become inoperable due to foreign objects getting stuck in them or the push buttons and lamps on the operation panels being broken. There were drawbacks.

The present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and one embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The case of a banknote dispensing machine will be described below as an example.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an embodiment of the operation panel on the user side of the banknote dispensing machine according to the present invention. 5 is a number display section that displays the user's PIN number set on the keyboard 4; 6 is an amount display section that displays the amount of money set on the keyboard 4; 7 is a shirt cover that covers the entire surface of this operation panel, and is configured to be opened by the operation of a drive mechanism (not shown).

8 is the outer wall. Figure 2 is a sectional view taken along line A-A in Figure 1.
a and 9b are feed rollers 1 for feeding the card 2;
0 is a reading mechanism that reads inspection data to determine whether the card 2 is genuine, such as the width and thickness of the card, or magnetic pieces embedded in the card; 11 is embedded in the outer wall 8; A protective member 12, such as tempered glass, is configured to protect the reading mechanism 10 and not become an obstacle for determining authenticity on the card 2, and 12 reads or writes data recorded on the card 2. This is a recording/playback head.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained.

First, when the card 2 is set on the transparent protection member 11, the reading mechanism 10 is activated to read the inspection data of the card 2 and send it to a judgment circuit (not shown).

If the card 2 is determined to be genuine as a result of the determination, an output is sent from the determination circuit and a drive mechanism (not shown) is operated.

Therefore, the shutter 7 opens. Next, this protective member 11
Pick up the upper card 2 and insert it into the card insertion slot 1.

The data on the card 2 is then read out by the recording/reproducing head 12.

On the other hand, the user inputs the password from the keyboard 4.

After verifying whether the cardholder is the person in question, and if the cardholder is confirmed to be the person in question, the amount of money to be withdrawn is set on the keyboard 4, and banknotes of that amount are dispensed to the payment slot.

Then, it is detected that the operator has taken the bill, and the shirt cover 7 closes to protect the operation panel.

The detailed mechanism and operation of the banknote dispensing machine are described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 45-2157, so a detailed explanation thereof will be omitted here.

Further, although the reading mechanism 10 described above reads the inspection data of the card 2, a mechanism for reading or recording data recorded on the card 2 may be added, and in that case, the card insertion slot 1, feed rollers 9a, 9b,
The recording/reproducing head 12 can be omitted.

The reading mechanism 10 is further provided with an input mechanism for identifying the person, for example, by placing a hand on a protective member, blocking the light emitted in units of 4 with a finger, and inputting the person's PIN number. Of course, various other mechanisms can also be applied.

Although the above description has been made of a payment machine, it goes without saying that the same can be applied to payment machines for banknotes, envelopes containing banknotes, various cards, admission tickets, checks, various goods, and even deposit machines for these items.

As explained above in detail, according to the goods payment and deposit machine according to the present invention, the shutter is always closed on the front of the operation panel on the user side, and the user can show the genuine card. Since it opens only when the device is opened, it effectively protects the device.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. Payment of desired items or deposit by operating the operation panel after confirming that the card is genuine or that the person presenting the card is the person in question. Or, in a deposit machine, there is a shutter that can be opened and closed that covers the entire operation panel on the user side, a protective member embedded in the outer wall at a position separated from the shutter, and a protective member located inside the protective member. The shack is protected and protected from inspection data such as the material, thickness, and size of the card, as well as a reading mechanism that reads the contents recorded on the card. Normally, the shack is closed and covers the entire operation panel, but the shack is closed and covers the entire operation panel. If the presented card is genuine or if the person presenting the card is the person who presented the card, the shutter will be opened to allow payment or deposit of the item that will enable operation of the operation panel. Putting machine.
